  1. Question 1

    Q1. From a point on the ground, the angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of a transmission tower fixed at the top of a 20 m high building are 45° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the tower.

    • A) 20(√3 - 1) m
    • B) 20(√3 + 1) m
    • C) 14.64 m
    • D) 20 m

    Answer: 20(√3 - 1) m

    Explanation: Using trigonometric ratios, height = 20(√3 - 1) m.
